UNSPSC 50463001: Canned or jarred bok choy

The variety of chinese cabbage known as bok choy that has been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50463001 Canned or jarred bok choy is a Commodity code for specialty preserved vegetables that state and local governments procure primarily through school nutrition programs and institutional food service operations. Recent opportunities show the code seeing light activity, with canned and jarred vegetables appearing as line items within broader food procurement solicitations rather than as standalone contracts. School districts and state health and human services agencies source these products alongside canned tomatoes, other preserved produce, and broader grocery inventories to support cafeteria operations and facility dining programs.

Issuing bodies are predominantly school districts (Ben Hill County Schools in Georgia, Burke County Public Schools in Georgia, Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri, Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Liberty County Board of Education in Georgia, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System in Georgia) and state health and human services agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, Illinois Department of Veterans Affairs). Texas HHSC and Oregon DOC appear as repeat buyers of preserved vegetables as part of multi-line-item food service contracts. Geographic activity spans the South (Georgia, Texas), Midwest (Missouri, Illinois), Pacific Northwest (Oregon), and Mid-Atlantic (Virginia), with the highest recent posting density in Georgia school districts. Representative solicitations include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017449 (food and consumable products for state supported living centers, due Jul 13, 2026), Rockwood R-VI School District's grocery items procurement (over 900 line items including canned vegetables, due Apr 29, 2026), and multiple Georgia school district fresh produce and food supply RFPs spanning January through June 2026. Canned bok choy itself does not appear as a specific line item in the posted summaries; the code's activity reflects inclusion within larger preserved-vegetable and institutional-grocery categories rather than dedicated bok choy procurement.
